steel or aluminum do not affect the vibrations in any way the aluminum is more for the bling. The insert hardness determines that

I wonder if just the front would make a difference:

The price is best on the Energy Suspension MM's but they vibrate too much IMO.

go innovative street they're great not bad on the vibrations

and the front isn't necessary unless you are putting down a lot of HP

Avid Racing just redesigned there DC5/EP3 Mount Kit, looks pretty impressive. Its another option for you to consider. I found a thread about them on CRSX. Check them out they look pretty pimp!

I think they had to redesign them because they Didn't fit, and also I have seen many sets with avid billet mounts that have cracked and had to be welded up multiple times.

No, I talked to Avid about that. They told me they had fitment issues with the front mount like Innovative did as well. But they have addressed those issues. If you look closely, the new Avid kit has a different design for the passenger side mount which is much stronger than the OEM/Innovative design.

Innovative is apparently redesigning their DC5/EP3 mount kit as well because of all the problems the passenger side mount has been causing. Theres a huge thread about that on CRSX as well.
